Sarah's Signature Teaching Lead



Imagine a stylish belt that does double duty as your dog’s leash: that’s the concept behind Sarah's patented Teaching Lead®, which lets you walk your dog with hands-free convenience. This leash is equally handy outdoors as in, where it can actually take the place of a crate when you’re home to encourage good canine behavior throughout the day. Both nylon and leather versions come with an instuctional booklet that describes its many uses. During a dog’s puppyhood, building a strong bond between you is critical, and the Teaching Lead® promotes that closeness by joining you two together at the hip - literally as well as figuratively.


Sarah's Media Appearances

When I'm not teaching dogs, I'm talking dogs! I've appeared on all major TV networks,
passionately advocating for dogs everywhere. I've covered pet adoption, puppy selection and aggression rehabilitation.
